Although Google's free Drive service allows you to create spreadsheets that you may store contact data in, the spreadsheet format is more general and not intended solely for contact information. You can, however, export the file into a common spreadsheet format that Mac's Mail program can read to import names, phone numbers and email addresses. When you save this file, each column will have a comma separation, so removing spaces is important. Then, you'll have access to the contact information in both programs.

Log on to Google Drive and open the spreadsheet.

Delete any spaces or line breaks between the content. When you're done, each address, name and email address should be in the same column, respectively.

Open "Contacts" from the Mac OS Doc or from within the Mail application if it's already open. Click the "File" menu and choose "Import." Navigate to the CSV file you just downloaded, and then click "Open." If prompted by the Apple program, review the header and allow importing.
